President Donald Trump has been accused of holding 'affordability hostage' after abruptly cancelling plans to sign a landmark bipartisan housing bill in Washington on Wednesday, instead demanding Congress prioritise his proposed voter identification legislation, a move critics say effectively killed what had been billed as the largest housing measure in a generation.
The announcement came via Trump's own social media account, where he said the scheduled Capitol signing would not go ahead until lawmakers pass what he called the 'desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT,' describing it as a 'national emergency.'
